I’m not going to complain much about this one – twelfth overall in the league’s not a bad spot to see St. Louis sitting, and they actually didn’t do a boneheaded analysis this time. The only doofy comment they made was this about Paul Kariya:

The Blues summer ended on a bit of a sour note when Paul Kariya announced that he would not be playing this season as he continues to deal with post-concussion syndrome. If this is in fact the end of the road for Kariya it is an unfortunate way to end such an illustrious career.

Memo to TSN – he wasn’t coming back to STL anyway.

The praise for GM Doug Armstrong and the Blues’ off-season moves seems a bit fluffed up with hyperbole, but when you see what the team did in the off-season written out in a paragraph, it doesn’t look half bad.
